The Venezuelan Film Festival in New York has announced the lineup for its second edition which will take place September 19-25 at Tribeca Cinemas in Manhattan, and it will feature 14 feature films including Papita Maní Tostón by Luis Carlos Hueck, My Straight Son / Azul y no tan rosa by Miguel Ferrari, La Casa del Ritmo: A Film About Los Amigos Invisibles by Javier Andrade, and The House at the End of Time / La casa del fin de los tiempos by Alejandro Hidalgo among others.

The Venezuelan Film Festival in New York (founded by Irene Yibirin), is dedicated to delivering the best, most diverse and honest representation of current Venezuelan Cinema to American audiences. The film festival first appeared in 2013 as FesNuCiVe, Festival del Nuevo Cine Venezolano. In 2013, the inaugural Venezuelan Film Festival in New York had an audience of approximately 1,200 people, screening 8 films in a total of 12 screenings and garnered media attention for its bold film program. Now, in its second year, Festival organizers have doubled the size of the program from last year and are expecting to double attendance this year.

Cinema Tropical's programs are made possible with the support of the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew M. Cuomo and the New York State Legislature. They are also supported, in part, by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council, the National Endowments for the Arts, and the National Association of Latino Arts and Culture.
